Under: Fantasy
Based on Terry Pratchett's 33rd Discworld novel involves a skillful con
artist Moist Von Lipwig who finds the tables turned and it's he himself
who conned into becoming the Ankh-Morpork Postmaster General. A
position that has not been filled in years.Of the three Sky adaptations of Pratchett's discworld novels this is by
far the best. The storyline is true to the book although,as with the
other two discworld films, since the history has not been covered by
previous stories, more explanation is required which can get in the way
of the plot on occasion.Clair Foy's Adora Belle Dearheart is a little too jovial and Charles
Dance is not quite menacing enough as the Patrician. Nonetheless the
performances are very good and certainly believable enough for a
fantasy world.
